modular vs. traditional construction

Some people falsely believe that modular walls are flimsy or temporary, good for offices maybe, but not something you’d trust in important spaces. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. The best demonstration of what modular walls can handle can be glimpsed by looking at where they’re already being used: in places like hospitals,...Read More

Most people think that once a building goes up, the job is done. But unfortunately, buildings do not stay the same over time; they age, become worn, and as time passes, some parts may need to change.

With traditional construction, delays can push back move-in dates, material waste and extra labor can blow up costs, and on-site noise can make it difficult for employees to focus. The good news is that modular construction can completely eliminate these problems....Read More
